Geomatics - Land Surveyor

 
Background
Land surveyors use specialist equipment like GPS, lasers, and drones to measure and map land and buildings. They create detailed plans and records of property boundaries, ground levels, and structures that are used by architects, engineers, and construction teams. This work happens both outdoors on site and indoors using computers to process the data they've collected.
